Launch Announcement

We haven't e-mailed the VIP Launch list yet... The main reason for this is that it's a huge list and could bring in a few thousand orders overnight with a decent conversion rate, so we've been holding off on that.

How about sorting the list and sending invites by sign-up date, alphabetically, the first thousand, or whatever seems to be a nice breakdown. Then publicize that you are sending invites which will be received in whatever sequence to ensure a smooth enrollment process. I think it's time to _show_ movement to the masses, so the discussions can begin. :-)

My thought, too! A full scale emailing, no matter how "ready" you think you are, has a high risk of creating chaos. (Remember VT's problems in trying to absorb the SunRocket exodees .... is that a word?)

Yeah it will definitely have to be phased in.

The good thing is that we've been getting a handful of signups a day pretty consistently lately and that's helped us to find and make some changes to the order process that I think really streamlined things a lot.

We're slowly ramping up promoting the fact that we are taking signups. VIP Launch list has to come soon though and be one of the first big pushes because it is the "VIP" list afterall and there's an expectation that it'll be the first big push.
